SALT LAKE CITY — This Saturday, Utah’s Hogle Zoo is sharing what makes the zoo’s cats unique with an event from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. 

That’s not all, complimentary hot cocoa, education discussions and animal enrichment will take place at the event. 

At the zoo, some of the cats are critically endangered species. For example, the Amur leopard numbers are less than 100 in the wild.

Furthermore, Amur tigers, black-footed cats and African lions also help make up the zoo’s vulnerable cats. 

The event is a part of general admission or zoo membership.
